My first week was the worst.  I was having trouble with the gas and the bloated feeling.  Had surgery on a Monday and on Sunday, I finally found some relief.  Just got better and better from then on, but the first week, I thought the people on the forums left out a very important fact about this surgery, and I'm going to feel like this for the rest of my life?  It will get better.  Michael

Thank you Michael!! I just hate that bloat feeling and add pain to it doesnt make for a good combination. I just know all will be better by Sunday.

 Welcome to the world of a RNY post-op.  I have gas some days that could make Oscar the Grouch say OMG thats rank!!  It's really bad when you smell it yourself and nearly gag.  The painful part of it will go away soon but the smell and amount of gas you have on some days will never go away.

Thanks Dan, I knew I could count on u to give it to me straight....lol. I am wimpy when it comes to pain, so anything other than pain is tolerable to me

its my farts and i will expel them if i want to..ya ya ya...
Omg I can remember those gasy days....changing from milk to water wont really help...its the protein that causes the gas...i suggest using soy milk..it helps ease the little bombers...
as for the pain nothing works better than walking. I would not recommend a heating pad...cause you are still a newly post op and the heat can cause infection and BELIEVE ME infection is worse then gas pain.
I found nothings works better than walking and time
hugs to ya....

Thanks Pattye...just hope it passes real soon
